In an interview posted by the French news broadcast Le Petit Journal on Monday, a reporter asks a young French boy if he understands why terrorists attacked Paris on Friday, killing at least 129 people and injuring 350.
When asked by the French journalist whether he understands what happened and “why those people did that”, the boy replies: “yes, because they’re really, really mean”.
Boy: “They have guns”.
While describing the “mean” men, Brandon mentions that they have to move house now. “Bad guys are not very nice”.
“Yes, but there’s bad guys everywhere”, said the father.
